The reason is twofold, a technical one and an operational one.
The technical one is that pactor is not dopler tolerant, the tolerace 
for pactor 1 is less then 80 hz, I think pactor 2 and 3 are even more 
critical.
The operational problem is that it is very bad practice to use a 100% 
dutycycle mode on most linear sats, some will alow psk31 sstv and other 
modes but most don´t.
